Author of pervious studies of Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis and Pound (to name a few), Kenner bestrides modern literature if not like a colossus then at least a presence of formidable proportions. A new book by him is certainly an event....A demanding, enticing book that glitters at the same time it antagonizes....\"\u003ci\u003eThe Pound Era\u003c\/i\u003e presents us with an idiosyncratic but sharply etched skeletal view of our immediate literary heritage.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is notoriously difficult to recognize degrees of pre-eminence among one's near-contemporaries.
